Motivation and hope are two items in short supply in many urban
schools. But it doesn't have to be that way, according to Richard
L. Curwin. Based on input from teachers across the United States
and on his own personal experiences, Curwin offers suggestions that
every school can use to keep students in the classroom and looking
toward a brighter future. In Meeting Students Where They Live,
Curwin urges teachers and administrators in urban schools to move
away from a focus on control, uniformity, lack of tolerance, and
ironclad rules toward an approach based on compassion,
understanding, tolerance, and safety for all. Each chapter examines
problems common to urban schools and offers comprehensive,
long-reaching remedies, plus concrete strategies for engaging
troubled and hard-to-reach youth. Meeting Students Where They Live
explores ways to: Welcome all students. Build lessons that involve
and engage. Stay motivated and energized. Design assignments that
students will actually do. Use evaluation to encourage and build
learning rather than defeat it. Meeting Students Where They Live
also includes classroom activity sheets submitted by teachers
working in a variety of urban environments-from inner-city schools
to a detention center.
